in Hawaii.
Answer from Jesus:
There is only one way to overcome fear, and that is to confront fear—by
doing precisely what makes you afraid. And then realizing that although
certain things may happen in the physical, whatever might happen in
the physical has no power over the real you.
You will see, my beloved, that when I was sitting in the Garden of Gethsemane,
the evening before my arrest, I was dealing with a very intense fear—not
only the fear of my own but the fear of humankind. The fear of taking
a stand and then seeing the consequences of being the target of those
who will not be challenged because they believe they own this Earth.
Thus, my beloved, I wrestled with this as each of you must do in your
own way. For you see, each and every one of us who have ever been in
embodiment have had our own personal psychology—our own personal
beliefs about what is important, what is not important. We have had
our own personal shoulds and should-nots, as was spoken about earlier.
And thus, each person must wrestle with that. You have created, each
one of you, your own personal sense of separation, your separate self,
your mortal self. You will overcome fear only by looking that mortal
self in the eye and acknowledging fully – experiencing from within
– that you are more
than the mortal self. And therefore, the fear of the mortal self
has no power over the real you.
I did this in my own way. I confronted my own demons, as the saying
goes, and thus I surrendered myself to what I knew was meant to happen
in order to bring forth an example for all. You – each and one
of you – must do the same. There is no standard way, there is
no quick and easy solution that I can give you, there is no magical
wand that you can wave, and – puff – the problem goes away.
So, what you need to do is to start building a momentum of confronting
your fears, starting with the lesser fears. And if you are afraid of
doing something, then do it, and see that it was not nearly as bad as
what you imagined in your mind.
Look at the example of this messenger who
was afraid of skeletons as a child, and allowed himseld to be locked
in a closet with a skeleton. Thus realizing – as he knew in advance
– that he would not die from that experience. And thereby overcoming
the fear, but also building a momentum of simply confronting his fears
whenever he becomes aware of them—with
a little help from myself, I might add. So that he now comes to
the point of realizing that there is nothing that is so fearful, that
is so terrible, that he cannot face it.
And each one of you have that potential, and you simply need to start
walking, to start puting one foot in front of the other, until you become
more and more comfortable. Just as when you learn to ride a bike and
you suddenly had the balance programmed into your subconscious mind—and
now it became second nature.
And thus, it can become second nature to not only confront your fears,
but to simply follow your inner promptings, so that you not even go
into a consideration of the fear, you do not go into a vibration of
fear. You simply instantly act on your inner promptings without going
into the anaytical mind of analyzing the potential consequences and
what will happen if I do this and this, and what will happen if other
people think so and so about what I do.
And thus you get lost in this analytical quicksand, and that stops your
momentum. And you stand there, letting "I dare not wait upon I
do," as they say, instead of simply being the Christ in action
and acting on your inner direction as soon as it enters your conscious
mind.
